CONSTITUTION. 


ARTICLE  I. 

Name. 
This  Association  shall  be  called  The  American  METKOLoeieAn  Society. 

ARTICLE  II. 

Objects  of  the  Society. 

Section  1. — The  primary  object  of  this  Association  shall  be  to  improve 
the  systems  of  Weights,  Measures  and  Moneys,  at  present  existing  among 
men.  and  to  bring  the  same,  as  far  as  practicable,  into  relations  of  simple 
commensurability  with  each  other. 

Section  2.— A  farther  object  will  be  to  secure  the  universal  adop- 
tion of  common  units  of  measure  for  the  expression  of  quantities  which 
r  squire  to  be  stated  in  presenting  the  results  of  physical  observation  or  inves- 
tigation, and  for  which  the  ordinary  systems  of  metrology  do  not  provide  ; 
such  as  the  divisions  of  the  barometer,  thermometer  and  densimeter  ;  the 
amount  of  work  done  by  machines  ;  the  amount  of  mechanical  energy,  active 
or  potential,  of  bodies,  as  dependent  on  their  motion  or  position  ;  the  quan- 
tities of  heat  present  in  bodies  at  given  temperatures,  or  generated  by  com- 
bustion or  otherwise  ;  the  quantity  and  intensity  of  electro-dynamic  currents  ; 
t!io  aggregate  and  the  efficient  power  of  prime  movers ;  the  accelerative  force 
of  gravity  ;  the  pressure  of  steam  and  of  the  atmosphere  ;  and  other  matters 
analogous  to  these.  The  association  will  endeavor  also  to  secure  uniformity 
of  usage  in  regard  to  standard  points  of  reference,  or  to  those  physical  condi- 
tions to  which  observations  must  be  reduced  for  purposes  of  comparison  ; 
especially  the  temperature  and  pressure  to  which  are  referred  the  specific 
gravities  of  bodies,  and  the  zero  of  longitude  on  the  earth . 

Section  3. — In  regard  to  the  denominations  of  weight,  measure  and  mo- 
ney which  are  derived  from  the  unit-bases,  the  Association  will  labor  to  secure, 
us  far  as  may  be,  the  acceptance  of  the  system  of  decimal  derivation  ;  not  ne- 
cessarily to  the  exclusion  for  practical  purposes  of  the  binary  or  other  conve- 
nient methods  of  division  ;  but  maintained  along  with  such  other  method*, 
on  account  of  the  facilities  for  calculation,  for  reductions,  and  for  comparison 
of  values,  afforded  by  a  system  which  «onforms  to  that  of  our  numerical 
notation. 


6 

ARTICLE  III. 
Modes  of  Operation. 

Section  1. — The  Society  will  endeavor  to  carry  out  the  objects  set  forth 
in  the  foregoing  article,  by  appeals  addressed  to  Congress,  to  the  Legislatures 
of  the  several  States,  to  Boards  of  Education,  to  the  higher  institutions  of 
learning,  and  to  the  directors  and  teachers  of  schools  of  every  grade  through- 
out the  country  ;  urging  upon  thorn  the  adoption  of  measures  in  their  several 
spheres  for  the  diffusion  of  information  as  to  the  present  state  of  the  world's 
metrology,  and  as  to  the  recont  progress  of  metrological  reform,  and  espe- 
cially for  the  instruction  as  to  these  matters  of  the  rising  generation  ;  to  the 
end  that  the  people  of  the  country  may  be  early  and  fully  prepared  to  act 
intelligently  upon  the  important  questions  connected  with  this  subject. 

Section  2. — The  Society  will  also  invoke  the  aid  and  co-operation,  for  the 
purposes  above  stated  of  bodies  organized  f  :r  the  consideration  of  questions 
of  scientific  or  of  social  interest,  and  of  Boards  of  Trade,  Chambers  of  Com- 
merce, Societies  of  Engineers,  Industrial  Associations,  professions  and  trades 
in  this  country  and  elsewhere. 

Section  3.— Upon  Scientific  bodies,  the  Society  will  especially  press  the 
importance  of  opening  communications  with  similar  bodies  in  other  countries, 
with  a  view  to  a  general  agreement  upon  the  values  to  be  henceforth  uniform- 
ly given  to  the  units  of  measure  and  points  of  reference  which  particularly 
concern  them,  or  in  other  words,  to  the  so-called  constants  of  science. 

SEcrioN  4. — They  will  memorialize  Congress  from  time  to  time,  or  so  long 
as  it  may  be  necessary,  in  favor  of  the  enactment  of  laws  requiring  the  use, 
in  certain  departments  of  the  public  service,  of  the  metric  system  of  weights 
and  measures  where  such  legislation  may  tend  to  relieve  commerce  of  some  of 
its  burdens,  to  facilitate  international  communication,  to  promote  interna- 
tional j  urisprudence,  and  to  familiarize  our  own  people  with  the  benefits  of 
that  system  of  metrology,  with  the  least  interference  with  their  ordinary 
habits  of  thought,  or  daily  business. 

Section  5. — The  Society  will,  furthermore,  endeavor  to  promote  its 
objects  by  appeals  addressed  directly  to  the  people  through  the  public  press  ; 
and  by  the  circulation,  so  far  as  its  means  may  allow,  of  documents  designed 
to  inform  the  public  mind,  'or  of  books  adapted  to  the  instruction  of  youth, 
as  to  the  defects  of  the  common  system  of  weights  and  measures,  as  to  the 
means  most  proper  for  its  amendment,  and  as  to  the  great  advantages  which 
the  acceptance  of  a  universal  system  would  insure  to  all  mankind. 

ARTICLE  IV. 
Organization. 
Section  1. — The  officers  of  this  Association  shall  be  a  President,  a  Vice- 
President,  a  Recording  Secretary,  a  Corresponding  Secretary,  and  a  Treasurer, 
all  of  whom  shall  be  elected  annually,  by  ballot,  and  who  shall  hold   their 
offices  for  one  year  and  until  their  successors  shall  be  elected. 


Section  2. — A  Council  consisting  of  the  five  officers  enumerated  in  the 
foregoing  section,  together  with  ten  other  members  chosen  by  ballot  at  the 
same  time  from  among  the  members  of  the  Society  not  holding  office,  shall  be 
created  with  power  to  conduct  the  business  of  the  Society  in  the  interval  * 
between  the  meetings,  under  such  regulations  and  restrictions  as  may  be  im- 
posed in  the  By-Laws.  A  majority  of  the  members  of  the  Council  shall  con- 
stitute a  quorum. 

Section  3. — The  Council  shall  be  charged  with  the  duty  of  examining  all 
papers  which  may  be  presented  by  members  or  others,  either  to  be  read  at  the 
meetings  or  to  b 3  published  by  the  Society;  and  no  papers  shall  be  so  read 
or  so  published  which  shall  not  have  first  been  approved  by  the  Council;  but 
this  section  shall  not  limit  the  right  of  any  member  of  publishing  his  own 
opinions  on  his  own  responsibility. 

ARTICLE    V.

Section  4.  —Every  member  shall  be  at  liberty  to  present  to  the  Society  in

from  persons  not  members,  provided  such  communications,  or  abstracts 
thereof,  shall  have  been  examined  and  their  reading  approved  by  the  Council. 

Section  5. — Any  member  of  the  Society  after  having  been  an  active 
member  in  good  standing  for  five  years,  may  at  his  own  request,  be  released
